The latest report of Nokia’s Q4 2017 earnings by Counterpoint state that the company has sold almost 4.4 million smartphones in the last quarter, leaving behind big name Android giants including Google and OnePlus.

Although the first two or three months of Nokia’s comeback didn’t look promising, the earnings gradually picked up and the latest reports rank the company much higher than anyone expected.

Unfortunately, Nokia couldn’t make it to the Top 10 because of its 1% market share. This was stated in a tweet by a renown analyst from Counterpoint, Mr. Neil Shah:

We believe, 2018 most focus for @hmdglobal should be building smartphone demand in Asia, Europe & MEA as FP demand is robust driving positive cash flow,

Nokia Reaches Number 11

The sales figures were impressive enough to rank Nokia on the 11th position in the list of companies with highest market share worldwide. The fact to be encouraged here is that there is a long list of big smartphone producing brands that Nokia has surpassed due to its rapid growth, including:

Google

HTC

Sony

Alcatel

Lenovo

OnePlus

Gionee

Meizu

Coolpad

Asus

Region wise results are even more interesting, as Neil said that Nokia stands at number three in the UK for Q4 and among the top five in Russia, Vietnam and several Middle Eastern markets.

This could be a result of Nokia’s diverse production strategy through which they rolled out a number of feature phones along with Android-based devices.
